作曲 : Capt. G. W. Alexander
Bob Roebuck is her sweetheart's name
He's off to the wars and gone
He's fighting for his Nannie dear
His sword is buckled on
He's fighting for his own true love
His foes he does defy
He is the darling of her heart
Her Southern soldier boy
He is her only joy
He is the darling of her heart
Her Southern soldier boy
Oh if in battle he was slain
She's sure that she should die
But she is sure he'll come again
And cheer her weeping eye
But should he fall
In this our glorious cause
He still would be her joy
For many a sweetheart mourns the loss
Of a Southern soldier boy
He is her only joy
He is the darling of her heart
Her Southern soldier boy
She hopes for the best
And so do all
Whose hopes are in the field
She knows that we shall win the day
For Southerns never yield
And when we think
Of those who are away
We'll look above for joy
And she's mighty glad
That her Bobby is
A Southern soldier boy
He is her only joy
He is the darling of her heart
Her Southern soldier boy
